Step 3: Within 24 to 72 hours, you should receive an e-mail from Vaccine Management Recipient Portal. Once the e-mail is received, follow the directions to create an account and register to become eligible to receive the vaccine. If you do not hear from the Vaccine Management Recipient Portal within 72 hours, you may call 828-526-1310 for assistance. Please wait at least 72 hours.

Step 4: Once you are registered with CVMS, you can proceed to schedule your vaccine at any available location in North Carolina. If you would like to request an appointment to be vaccinated at Highlands Recreation Center on January 27, 2021, between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. with a required second vaccination on February 24, 2021, at same time and location, complete the required information in the following link:

Step 5: Once your appointment request is received, your registration with CVMS will be verified, and if you are eligible, you will be assigned an appointment time to receive your Covid19 vaccination and confirmation will be sent via e-mail. We have limited supply of vaccines and will assign appointments on a rolling basis until all time slots are filled.

If you need additional assistance, you may e-mail: highlandscovidvaccine@gmail.com or call 828-526-1310. This Initiative is staffed by volunteers and we will respond as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance for your patience.

We will be complying with the Governor’s orders for prioritization of vaccination as detailed at https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/vaccines
